I was deeply saddened to learn of John Sallis's passing. He was a giant. His contributions to philosophy are undeniable, even staggering. He was brilliant. He was also very kind, and dedicated to his students. I am so honored to have been one of them.

Still waiting on this to open up a rift between trad conservative wing (nominally friendly to Scholastic-style intellectual minutia) and fashy-crypto-bro wing (intellectually bereft and proud of it) of the American right

@plateauscave But if one didn't think that any normative orientation toward freedom (or anything non-historical) was necessary for the analysis in question, then it seems like there wouldn't be an issue.

@plateauscave As I understand it based only on the above, the author is presupposing that "practices of freedom" is normative for any historical practices/norms/etc. under analysis. If so, what are the transcendental conditions for a normative commitment to freedom?

Okay, my brain always seems to shut off with the use of 'normative', so help me make sense of this: why does something like a political commitment to freedom need any 'normative' foundation and why would this be in any way connected to transcendental critique?

@KnitIndustrie Ohhh yeah I see what you mean - that's wild actually. At the level of the statement it would all be a priori

@old_ric Conatus does seem more promising because of Heidegger's treatment of the will, Gelassenheit, etc.

@old_ric Inclined to agree - I'm not as familiar with Spinoza but I don't see how the finite/infinite substance difference could map on to the ontological difference as Heidegger treats it. As in, I think he would still consider it onto-theological (maybe not, I'm torn)

Rare L from a 2003 Dan Smith piece saying that Spinoza poses the problem of ontological difference with substance standing in for Being and modes as beings.

@KnitIndustrie Yeah, I think that's right - she really does not do the distinction justice here. If anything it comes across as totally banal.

@RedSubway Or, rather, I don’t think all of her interlocutors are so naive about the independence imputed, but that her account of the “double face” of these problems does not clarify the basic problem of action in each instance.

For my money, the best critique of the conceptual construction of Arendt’s work is laid out by Mary McCarthy, Richard Bernstein, and Albrecht Wellmer in the 1972 roundtable discussion with Arendt at Toronto. (Thinking without a Banister, pp. 455ff.)

@KnitIndustrie (Though "Reflections on Little Rock" might be the exception that proves the rule there, in the worst way).

@KnitIndustrie When she admits the "double face" of these questions, it is to say that the same thing might be understood qua political (public) or qua social (administrative). She doesn't generally deny the way that they overlap in the concrete. 2/2
